Even for the simple things, everyone benefits from a reminder every once in a while.
I’ve found I need to remind myself of certain concepts around happiness, simplicity and mindfulness when I start to feel unbalanced.
This happens when something unexpected throws me off guard. When receiving some bad news. Or perhaps when there’s been a long string of hectic days or weeks.
Sometimes you just feel down. Tired. Frustrated. Or perhaps just plain unmotivated to do anything.

The popularized idea of happiness is free-spirited and effortless; it is less often associated with concentration, hard work or sacrifice.

In bringing a meaningful project to life, whether it is building a company, honing a masterpiece or writing a book, there will be many hours, days, weeks, or months, even years that pass before milestones are reached.
During the periods of nose-grinding persistence, there will be a general sense of never enough time, weariness from lack of sleep, wavering moments of doubt, fear from numerous unknown variables, multiple failures and tough lessons.
Yet, there are perks you can look forward to when you’re going through the ditches of meaningful hard work—perks that will keep you going when you would otherwise burn out and quit.
